Chapter 380: The Worth of the Lamp God
"Fool" Klein was relieved to see that his goal had been achieved, but he still manipulated the "world" and added: "Although I don't know the specific plans of the 'Esoteric Society', according to the information available, it is likely that they will manipulate Stewart's new ideas on the doctrine." ”
"Trial" Hugh nodded: "Thank you for informing, I understand." ”
Alger, the "Hanged Man", also took this to heart, and thought about how to find an excuse to report to the higher-ups.
After this topic, the "world" returned to silence again. "Justice" Audrey saw that the other members were thinking about things, so she took the initiative to share some of the things she knew:
"The Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Commission was formally established.
"The Chairman of the Committee is Sir Des Shaw and the Principal Secretary is Mr. Hibbert Hall......"
Hearing this, the "fool" Klein who was sitting at the top of the table answered in his heart: I know that Mrs. Mary, my previous employer of the "rape mission", has become a member of this committee...... According to the landlord, Mrs. Starling, there was also a grand ball tonight to celebrate the commission's establishment......
"Trial" Hugh also thinks of this ball, because of the impact of the Beckland serial murder case, she was arranged to work as a security guard at the ball as an official member of MI9.
She said to Furth before that she was going to go on a mission that it was not a complete deception, but it was the other party's so-called "inspiration", which is very doubtful.
Many of the high-ranking people at the ball were Storm Believers, and that Mr. Stewart might have been sent in as well...... Well, if you find an opportunity, tell him the information that Mr. "World" has just revealed. Hugh thought in his heart.
"Well, the councillors have done something good...... I just don't know if this committee will be like an Argentine institution, just a decoration or a political gimmick! "The Hanged Man" Alger came back to his senses and sneered.
Hibbert is not a "decoration" that does not do anything...... "justice" Audrey pursed her lips and thought a little unhappily.
At this time, Hugh glanced at the most startled "world", thought about it, and took the initiative to speak: "A certain high-ranking member of MI9 is looking for clues to the 'Wishing Lamp'...... For this, you can even pay the price of a 'demigod' potion recipe. ”
Wishing Lamp?! Isn't this the seal "0-05" that the "world" asked about and the "tower" explained in the last tarot meeting? According to "Tower", Russell's wish became a short-lived Sequence 1......
Why did the top brass of MI9 look for this item? Was it the personal act of some high-ranking person, or was it the will of the royal family of Rune?
With the support of the Church, Russell relied on this "0" level seal to kill the last angel of the Sauron family...... Could it be that someone wants to emulate Russell?
But Augustus is not the declining Sauron......
"The Hanged Man" Alger had a lot of ideas in his mind for a while, and subconsciously looked at the "world" and "tower".
However, the "world" ...... Or Mr. "Fool" is also a little confused at this moment, he clearly remembers that Mr. "Tower" said that the "Wishing Lamp" is a seal that combines the extraordinary characteristics of the "Miracle Master" with the mysterious characteristics of its origin......
And the way that Augustus mastered was the "Arbiter", and even if he got it, he couldn't be promoted with it, at most he had a powerful "0" level seal. As an angelic family that has existed since the Quaternary Period, Augustus does not lack powerful seals, at least not deliberately exploring them......
So, is it the personal needs of a senior MI9 executive? Well...... Although the whereabouts of the "Wishing Lamp" are not revealed in the Russell diary that I have read so far, I can roughly guess it......
First of all, it will not be in the hands of the major churches, otherwise there is no need for the high-level of MI9 to explore clues, for the "0" level seals, the officials of various countries and the churches will notify each other and number them uniformly.
Secondly, it will not fall into the hands of some secret organizations that are keen on making trouble, otherwise with the ability of "wishing magic lamp", I am afraid that it will have already spread in extraordinary circles, and there is no need to find any clues......
So, it should be in the hands of some very low-key person or organization. Well, there are three I can think of:
First, it was the mysterious organization that Russell joined that he didn't dare to write about;
Second, Russell had a friendship with Zarathu, perhaps in exchange for the "Wishing Lamp" with the Esoteric Order, which has been keeping a low profile for the past hundred years;
Third, it was left to his children...... Most likely, it was the eldest daughter he loved, Bernadette! Zarathu had "prophesied" that Bernadette would become a big man in the mysterious world, and perhaps she is still alive today.
If it's in Bernadette's hands, forget it; If the magic lamp is in the hands of the first two, then you might as well make a deal with MI9......
Alas, I don't know if it can be confirmed by "divination...... After all, my connection to the "Wishing Lamp" is not deep, and even if there is a space above the gray fog to help, it may not be useful......
Thinking of this, Klein saw that many people were looking at the "world", so he manipulated the dummy and asked in a hoarse voice: "Which way is the potion formula for the 'demigods' given?" ”
Hugh thought for a moment and replied, "'Arbiter'...... However, it should be negotiable. ”
She felt that as Her Royal Highness Vera, there must be more than one recipe for the way in her hands, at least the "lawyer" path mastered by MI9 must be there.
"I'll try to look into it...... But there is no guarantee of results. "World" nodded and said in a low voice.
As they spoke, the eyes of the "magician" Furth, who was even more confused than the "sun", widened, and his surprise and curiosity were about to be directly expressed through the obstruction of the "gray fog".
"Wishing Lamp"? This name is so mysterious and romantic! What the hell is it that can be equated with a demigod-level potion formula?
You know, just an hour ago, in her eyes, demigods were still legendary characters in the story.
"Justice" Audrey saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she felt that she could "read" Folth's mind without her ability, so she explained to her the knowledge of the "Wishing Lamp" half-kindly, half-ostentatiously.
This shocked Miss "Magician", and there was a strange sense of familiarity, as if returning to the days when he listened to Abner's "bragging" a few months ago, when he was also a "0" level seal as soon as he opened his mouth...... It's a pity that after he was promoted to Sequence 8, he suddenly liked to say that half hid and half hidden, and then became the prototype of the "evil spirit" in her.
However, the "evil spirit" of Furth himself has fallen into deep thought at this moment.
In fact, after Hugh shared this information, Abner first complained that the "Wishing Lamp" was only worth the value of the "demigod formula", and then analyzed this matter in combination with the original book.
At first, he came to a similar conclusion to Klein, but after connecting with the origin of the "Wishing Lamp", he had other guesses:
In the original book, there is also an existence who is looking for the "Wishing Lamp", that is, a certain power of the outer god "Uncertain Mist" to penetrate into the earth.
Unlike the original book, Hugh encountered this plot when he was in East Chester County, and was finally rescued by a female high-ranking powerhouse of the "Tamara" family...... Well, Hugh also made a "messenger" and handed over something that Angleweed, the suspected "Dragon King", had left on her person, to the lady of the "Tamara" family.
And the power that seeped into the "Uncertain Mist" should have also been obtained and sealed by that lady......
Could it be that a lady from the "Tamara" family has infiltrated the upper echelons of MI9? And what do you know through the power that has infiltrated the "Uncertain Mist", so you have to look for the "Wishing Lamp"?
After all, the "God of Lights" and the "Mist of Indeterminacy" in the "Wishing Lamp" together can become a complete "Child of Chaos" of the old days......
Is this a follow-up to what happened to Hugh in East Chestershire?
Do you want to remind Hugh? Well...... I'm afraid not, she doesn't have "pure white eyes" to shield memories like me, and she knows that she will be polluted...... If it's just a subtle reminder, it won't work very well, and it's not even as safe as not knowing anything.
What's more, it's just my guess...... This is not necessarily the case.
And with Mr. "Fool" in the background, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Thinking of this, Abner breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart tightened up a lot again. After becoming a Sequence 6, the huge increase in strength made him relax a lot, but ......
After all, this is a world that is about to be invaded by the outer gods!
Just as Abner sighed in his heart, "The Sun" Derick also shared some changes in Silver City. After he finished speaking, Alger, the "Hanged Man", glanced sideways at the "Tower" who was still pondering, and then organized the language and said:
"There's a big event on the sea involving the pirate king and four pirate generals!"
